If you've bought Doggie Wishbone pet treats, manufactured by Merrick Pet Care, Inc., check the label. The box might be part of a recent recall due to possible salmonella contamination. The company is recalling 248 cases of the pet treats.
No illnesses have been reported, says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and no consumer complaints have been filed.
